Massage With Private Health Rebates: What You Need to Know

Private health rebates for massage can be a great help — but the details depend entirely on your fund and cover. Here's how to check before you book.

A remedial massage therapist applies trigger point pressure to a client's neck and upper shoulder during a session.

Private health insurance rebates may be available for massage depending on your provider and level of cover. There's no universal rule — every fund has its own approach — so the best thing you can do is check directly with your insurer before your appointment.

What to ask your health fund

  • Do I have remedial massage cover on my extras?
  • What's the rebate amount per session?
  • Is there an annual limit and how much of it have I used?
  • Are there any specific provider requirements I should be aware of?

Practical tips

Keep your receipts in one folder, take a quick photo on your phone if you tend to lose them, and check your limits at the start of each calendar year. Sarah can answer general questions about session lengths and pricing, but she can't confirm what your individual fund will rebate.

Important to note

Massages By Sarah does not guarantee rebates. Whether or not a session is claimable, and how much you get back, is entirely between you and your health fund. The website's pricing page reflects out-of-pocket prices before any rebate.
